Languages have their marks and roles in programming, but nothing is as versatile and fast as C/C++ code. But their is a major lacking in c++ web frameworks so I've been working on a simple framework. Its still in its early stages and only works on linux (due to network interface). I created a sample,against the LAMPP stack, using a very simple php / c++ request. Using my framework / server it was a drop in the bucket. Apache + Php was wide in its response. Between 4-22 seconds but 6-7 was its average. However with G3D::WebServer it was a constant ~1 second. I would try at a higher concurrency but Apache was unable to keep up. If anyone is interest just contact me.

Why Even Do this?

I run on a Virtual Server, getting the Whole LAMPP Stack running on 128 MB ram is hard... So I've set out to make a very light webserver with a simple framework to build on. Put that with just sticking to MySql's MyISAM database engine and I could build a high performance site with 32 MB.

G3D WebServer
14-15% Cpu Per Thread * 1 Threads 
14-15% CPU for ~1 Seconds
1 KB Memory Usage
Serve 10000 pages to 500 people 0.998 seconds

Apache + Php
5-8% Cpu Per Thread * 10 Threads 
50-80% CPU for ~7 Seconds
66 MB Memory Usage
Serve 10000 pages to 500 people 6.819 seconds

class HomeController : public WebController {
public:

    void get() {
        this->repsonse->body.append("\
            <html>\
            <head>\
	            <title>XAMPP</title>\
            </head>\
                <body>\
                " + this->request->get("asdfasdf") + "\
                <form action='' method='post'>\
                <input type='hidden' name='asdfasdf' value='dsfasdfasdf' />\
                <input type='submit' name='submit' value='Push' />\
                </form>\
            </body>\
            </html>\
        ");
    }
};
